I am so sorry for your loss. Words cannot express and tears cannot show what I feel and how you must feel right now. The loss of a wife is great and the loss of a mother is tremendous. I have two brothers-in-law whose mother's died when they were young. The children will need all of the love that you can give them. <BR/>Your children are blessed to have such a wonderful father and community around them. <BR/>I know that we are far, but if you need anything for your children when in Utah please call us. Dick and Debbie have our numbers. <BR/>I will miss Shelley, she came to our house in Orem and told me all about her mother when she was a midwife. She was excited that I was following her mother's path. I hope to be as good a person as Shelley was. <BR/>Chris and Heather Shelleysassymidwifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154582401814280781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283512181281601749.post-79577267879170469802008-11-25T10:01:00.000-08:002008-11-25T10:01:00.000-08:00Michael &amp; Shelley,Our family is constantly thi...Michael &amp; Shelley,<BR/>Our family is constantly thinking of you and our hearts ache for you during this difficult time. Words cannot help ease the pain, but we hope that knowing many love you and many are praying for you and your family will bring you peace. We so appreciate you keeping us posted inspite of all that is going on. Hospice is wonderful. They offer such compassion, comfort, and help. They helped my mom in her last days to be painfree and are invaluable emotional support. How grateful I am to have gotten to know Shelley through the missionary mom network. <BR/>Love <BR/>David, Karen, Sara &amp; Cory Wormellk.wormellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717584970563134418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283512181281601749.post-91354475610304451642008-11-25T08:51:00.000-08:002008-11-25T08:51:00.000-08:00Dear Conways,Jared and I found this blog a few wee...Dear Conways,<BR/><BR/>Jared and I found this blog a few weeks ago,and our hearts and prayers go out to you. I (Rachel) can understand the pain of losing someone you love so much as I lost my dad very suddenly 3 years ago. Something that comforted me was a quote-I can't remember who said it or the exact words. But it said something along the lines of: No righteous man (or woman) is taken before his or her time. I believe that with all my heart in the case of my dad, and I believe that with all my heart in the case of Shelley. Our prayers are with you and much love to your family.<BR/><BR/>Rachel and Jared LautenschlagerRachel and Jared Lautenschlagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768274780651585382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283512181281601749.post-60664112423806956172008-11-24T15:47:00.000-08:002008-11-24T15:47:00.000-08:00Mike and Shelley ~ It was so nice to meet both of ...Mike and Shelley ~ <BR/><BR/>It was so nice to meet both of you and spend time with you last week. Dan has told me so much about you both. Seeing the love that you two share was an amazing gift to both of us. Thank you for the memories you have given us and the goal of having a marriage like yours. Your strength during this time is a testiment to us all. Thank for your courage and to supporting us all while you go through this time. I wish things could be different, that there was more time to get to know you and your family. We love you both. Please let us know if you need anything. We would love to help. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I don't post often because I just don't know what to say, but I want you both to know that we have followed this blog religiously, and you and your family are in our prayers daily. I find myself saying constantly..."IT isn't fair!" but then I catch myself and I realize that Shelly must be too special to remain here. The Lord DOES have a plan for her and we must constantly remind ourselves of it. I just got an email from Chase and he is heartbroken. I hesitate to keep him fully informed because I don't want him to suffer, but I felt he needed to know. He says he loves Shelly dearly and wants you all to know that she and the family are in his prayers and constantly in his thoughts. <BR/> Shelly, you are beautiful, and what stands out the most in my memory is your beautiful smile. You are a special daughter of our Father and you have accomplished so much during your time on earth. 8 beautiful children and a loving husband that will carry you in their hearts forever. Carry on my sister until we meet again. You are loved by so many!<BR/>Love,<BR/>Lynette Speroni and Familymitotitahttp://openid.aol.com/mitotitanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283512181281601749.post-20256652125118756422008-11-21T16:26:00.000-08:002008-11-21T16:26:00.000-08:00you are all amazing. your family, your story, your...you are all amazing. your family, your story, your life has touched our family so deeply. we will always remember it and strive to be a little better, more gentle, more caring, more tender, and just appreciate life more, because of it. we love you! ! ~Corry &amp; Heather JohnsonHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15838341989235116759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283512181281601749.post-13255200816319470702008-11-21T15:03:00.000-08:002008-11-21T15:03:00.000-08:00What to say ?

My heart is also full of love and gratitude for the blessing of having you in my life for so long. Without even trying, you have been an example of motherhood and a listening ear for me as I mother my own children. We have laughed together and cried together and I wish I could take some of your pain from you. We love having your boys in our home and in our lives and I will always be here for anything they need. I love you so much, my friend and I know our Heavenly Father loves you far beyond what we can imagine. I know He has a beautiful place prepared for you and I know His hand will be over your family and He will care for them as you always have.

Smith states: <BR/>"I believe they (from the spirit world) do have the privilege of looking down upon us...I believe they are as deeply interested in our welfare today, if now with greater capacity, with far more interest, behind the veil, than they were in the flesh.”<BR/><BR/>I love how he tells us that we will have a greater capacity to care for our loved ones from the spirit world. As a mother I know that what we care about the very most is being there for our children. Shelley I know that you are a very involved loving mother and my heart aches at the anguish you must feel at having to leave your children at this time, but I want to tell you that I know that President Smith’s words are true. I know because I have had the privilege of feeling my dad’s spirit with me on several occasions. I have heard his words and I have felt his love. He is still very much aware and involved in my well-being.<BR/><BR/>When we first moved away I slipped into a depression that nearly did me in. My dad wanted to help me but I was in too dark of a place to hear him. So he visited my brother in a dream with a message for me. My brother woke at 3 am and couldn’t rest until he emailed me the message. That message contained advice for things that I was struggling with, things that I had not told another living soul about.<BR/>Shelley, I know that you will still be a mother to your children only with a greater capacity to help them through the trying times ahead. <BR/>I am so grateful that I was able to call you my neighbor and my friend. You have blessed my life in so many ways and I want to thank you for that. My prayers are continually with you and your wonderful family. May the power of our Savior’s atonement bring peace and comfort to you all. <BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/> Jeanette ShumwayJeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04068465608291119941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283512181281601749.post-16724651546672256852008-11-20T19:54:00.000-08:002008-11-20T19:54:00.000-08:00Shelley &amp; Michael,I&#39;m so sad to hear this ...Shelley &amp; Michael,<BR/>I&#39;m so sad to hear this devastating news, and so, so sad for you and your family. You&#39;ve fought a good fight Shelley, and you&#39;ve shown such courage, strength, and grace through this battle!! You found a way to smile for every photo and made it easy for those around you, through all the pain, misery and heartache you must be enduring. You are, as always, someone we all wish we could be more like. I have many treasured memories of the times we spent together. You &amp; Terrie &amp; I were the Three Muskateers! (I think she deserted us for some boy!...and left us...Busted!) And living with you and your parents at the end of high school was a special time for me. I thank you for being so open-minded and nonjudgemental. It&#39;s a lesson I try to carry with me. I hope you know what an impact you&#39;ve had on my life, as it sounds like you&#39;ve had on so many others as well. Your laughter will be imprinted in my mind forever, and it brightens my day to remember it. Thank you Shelley for brightening my life!<BR/>Love, Hugs, and Peace to you!<BR/>kristi kilger pulliamKristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061747948511678181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283512181281601749.post-87547596918629547232008-11-20T16:02:00.000-08:002008-11-20T16:02:00.000-08:00Conway'sI knew when you did not write that things ...Conway's<BR/>I knew when you did not write that things were not going well.

Thru the years I have seen how you have supported your children, loved the young women in our stake and have always stayed true to your values and beliefs. The lord has blessed us with you having crossed all our paths.

Ever since I heard the news about Shelley, she has been in my prayers. This post was really hard to read. I was so hoping that she would get better. Thank goodness for the gospel and our knowledge of Heavenly Father's plan. I know that I wasn't a close friend to Shelley, but the time that we had while we were in the ward together, and seeing her around the school she has always been so friendly and had a smile. I also look up to her as a mother. Seeing her around her kids she seems like she has a good relationship with them and is pretty easy going, and has fun with them. I remember the time when my daughter was in Brigg's class in school a couple of years ago, and they were doing a talent show, and Brigg's talent was arm farts. (I hope that's okay to say that) :) Shelley was just smiling about it. Know that your family will continue to be in our prayers. We love you!<BR/><BR/>The Bradshaw'sBradshaw Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843231728348090596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283512181281601749.post-25433415062022278622008-11-19T21:50:00.000-08:002008-11-19T21:50:00.000-08:00Mike, Shelley and Family,We love you so much and o...Mike, Shelley and Family,<BR/><BR/>We love you so much and our hearts are sad for you at this time. All though we are so grateful for the knowledge that we have about families. Shelley has always been so beautiful and so inspiring with her words. I have learned many things from her in the 15 years we have known your family. Mike, I can only imagine how hard it has been for you to think of writing all of what it going on. I have shed many tears just reading it. May our Heavenly Father watch over your family during this time. May Shelley only have to endure a little pain and may it be a time for your family to feel of the spirits on the other side that are there to give support to your family right now.

There are no words for times like this, just know that we love you and we too know that our Father in Heaven does have a plan. Thank you for sharing your tears and your joys with us. You both set such an example of love and courage - even at your most difficult moments, you are still lifting and teaching those around you. Shelley, what a legacy you will leave for your family! We love you. Jeff, DeAnn and Brittany LindblomMama's Mobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08464194039096343004noreply@blogger.com
